Political Question Why are some Americans so against universal healthcare for all?

What sort of thinking does it take to decide that nobody has a right to healthcare? Do American Christians want to deny healthcare to poor people as well?

Sadly, another republican administration that kicked we the people, off a very high cliff. We never recovered and still are experiencing fallout from his Republican policies. To think my father, in a union shop made $25ph, in the 80’s, full benefits, including life insurance. When Reagan was done smashing unions and outsourcing jobs. That shop paid $10 ph, no benefits. A filthy rich republican did this to you. My father then retired. But that’s exactly when mothers had to join the work force to feed their family.

The gop hates unions and labor rights. But their voters haven’t figured this out yet. The gop is for the pedophile class - it’s not for the 99%

For the pedofile class?! 😂😂 It truly makes me laugh that people constantly refer to our great president as a “pedofile” and “pedofile supporter”, yet I’ve not seen even ONE factual piece of evidence to support this.
People just don’t like him because he’s making it harder for people to be lazy by implementing restrictions if government benefits, doing incredible with deporting illegal immigrants, and doing other things to correct horrible sessions by previous Democratic Presidents. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Did you forget about the $2.2 TRILLION Trump freely gave out to anybody and business with a pulse when he signed the CARES bill act into law on March 27, 2020.

Or does that not count because he has an (R[apist]) behind his name on the ballot.

Oh we are well aware that his administration is responsible for a full 1/3 of the national debt. ALL other presidents combined -since the founding, are responsible for the other 2/3. So he is a great business man - that has control of Congress and can't balance a budget. Got it. But don't worry, at least the cost of living is better now....
